SIMULATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS INCLUDING PERIPHERAL DEVICES PROVIDING FEEDBACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240286029 titled 'SIMULATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS INCLUDING PERIPHERAL DEVICES PROVIDING FEEDBACK
The disclosed system includes a computing device that generates a virtual reality simulation, a head-mounted display worn by a user, and a peripheral device with a haptic actuator. The system creates an immersive simulation experience for the user and updates the virtual reality simulation based on motion detected by the peripheral device and signals from user input.
- The system allows for the generation of immersive virtual reality simulations.
- The peripheral device includes a trigger that activates the haptic actuator to provide haptic feedback in response to user actions.
- The peripheral device can be held with one hand using the first grip or with two hands using both grips.
- User input to the peripheral device influences the virtual reality simulation.
- The system enhances user experience by incorporating haptic feedback and motion detection.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality gaming - Training simulations - Medical simulations - Architectural visualization - Educational experiences
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user immersion in virtual reality simulations - Providing realistic haptic feedback - Improving user interaction in virtual environments
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience - Increased realism in virtual reality simulations - Improved user engagement and interaction
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Virtual Reality Experiences with Haptic Feedback Technology" This technology can be utilized in the gaming industry, training and simulation sectors, medical field, education, and architectural design for enhanced user experiences and improved interaction.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the haptic feedback enhance the virtual reality experience for users?
- The haptic feedback provides tactile sensations that make the virtual environment feel more realistic and immersive.
2. What are the potential limitations of using haptic feedback in virtual reality simulations?
- Some users may find the haptic feedback too intense or distracting, affecting their overall experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
a disclosed system includes a computing device that generates a virtual reality simulation, a head mounted display worn by a user, and a peripheral device having a haptic actuator. the system is configured to generate an immersive simulation experience for a user of the system and to control and update the virtual reality simulation based on detected motion of the peripheral device and signals generated by the peripheral device in response to user input to the peripheral device. the peripheral device includes a trigger that causes the haptic actuator to generate haptic reaction forces/impulses in response to actuation of the trigger, with actuation of the trigger further influencing the virtual reality simulation. the peripheral device includes first and second grips and is configured to be held by one hand of a user holding the first grip or by two hands of the user holding the first and second grips.
